    which widgets have which properties and how do u use layout containers?
  • b
    @User http://haxeui.org/explorer/ has examples with xml
  • b
    Probably the closest thing to a straight list like it sounds like you're asking for
  • b
    Yeah, id have to agree with MSGHero - best place currently is probably the explorer he linked - one day ill write better documentation, but i think ive been saying that for at least 2-3 years now 😮
  • n
    @User the new components explorer is amazing
  • b
    thanks! 🙂

    I'm trying to make a basic text editor since I haven't found one with the features I need. I can't seem to figure out how to adjust the positioning and scaling of the elements, though. Here's my basic layout:
    Copy code
    xml
<vbox>
    <vbox>
        <hbox>
            <label text="Project Title"/>
        </hbox>
        <hbox>
            <textfield placeholder="Search" />
            <button text="+" />
            <vbox>
                <progress pos="50"/>
                <progress pos="25"/>
            </vbox>
            <button text="..." />
            <textfield text="Times New Roman"/>
            <button text="Spellcheck" toggle="true" selected="true" />
        </hbox>
    </vbox>
    <hbox>
        <tree-view />
        <textarea />
    </hbox>
</vbox>
    I've tried using the 
    height
    and 
    width
    properties with percentages so that the UI can scale from what I see in the playground vs a potential desktop application or webapp. I've added these properties on both the 
    hbox
    and 
    vbox
    tags as well as the individual labels and buttons. Every single combination I've tried causes some sort of clipping. I've tried making sure that the percentages line up, like the top bar is 10% and the main textarea is 90%, but this doesn't work either. Can anyone help with this? How does positioning/scaling work?

    You can see here the tree view is tiny and the text area should fill the rest of the screen. Additionally, i've tried centering the text to the center of the screen based on what i've seen in the component explorer without much success.
  • b
    something like this: http://haxeui.org/builder/?owczft ?
  • b
    note i had to make the progress bars tiny and the textfields 100% to fit it all in, but mostly thats because the result iframe is pretty tiny
  • b
    i should probably use splitters in the builder so you can resize each section
  • w
    do i need to specify both width and height on every container to prevent clipping and overlap?
  • b
    well, if you are using % widths, then parents need to have some type of knowledge about % of what
  • b
  • b
    maybe that will help a little?
  • b
    but, generally, you wont need to explicity add w/h to everything - just the things you want to be specific sizes (either % or px)...
  • w
    This would be some excellent documentation/explanation to add. Thank you so much!
  • i
    not sure if this is a bug or not — in haxeui-flixel, when using a scrollView with a slider component inside, if you activate the slider (i.e. click and drag), vertical motion will still scroll the scrollView
  • b
    yeah, i guess it should cancel the event - ill add it to the list 🙂
  • i
    question for flixel: I'm using the sidebar as a main menu pretty much, using the shift mode. When I activate it, it shifts over UI components but my FlxTilemap beneath stays where it is - is there a way to make the tilemap itself shift when the menu is activated, via haxeui, or would I have to rig it up manually?
  • i
    I thought if it were part of the container FlxSpriteGroup specified in 
    Toolkit.init({container: myContainer});
    it would happen, but no dice
  • b
    so the sidebar shifts haxeui components when it moves... its kinda impossible (i think) to know what to move outside of haxeui... i mean, what would haxeui "know" to move?
  • b
    i open to suggestions, but it sounds very framework / app specific
  • i
    yeah seems like a bodge job time, or swap to float behaviour

    wxmsw31ud_core.lib(font.obj) : error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL': value '2' doesn't match value '0' in wxbase31u.lib(string.obj)
  • b
    i just built wxwidgets and built the project generated from 
    haxelib run haxeui-core create hxwidgets

    -lib

    In the heaps backend, all text is forced to use the SDF font method with this line https://github.com/haxeui/haxeui-heaps/blob/master/haxe/ui/backend/TextDisplayImpl.hx#L48
  • b
    I can comment it out and put 
    var font = _fontInfo.data.toFont();
    instead to use bitmap fonts, but now I actually need to use both
  • b
    font.type
    gets set by the method you use to load, so it's not something that can be used to check
